All moved in.....Tuesday, April 25th-

Finally.....All furniture moved back in place.  Stained all the dings in my furniture and it all looks like new again.  We are giving up cable until football season starts up again.  Saving $50 a month.  I could live without it forever.

Items left to do:  Trim, stain dresser; which will go up in our closet replacing plastic three drawer tubs, a few more pictures to hang,  sand and stain top of my dining room table and leaf and one last trip to the thrift store.  Oh, and hooking up our stereo system.  😑 

We started this project March 6th-   Looking back from this date, it makes me tired.





All stained...just needs the distressed look



Dresser is getting sanded and stained tomorrow.



Done-Looks so good.  Nice change.

Moving back to normal .......... April 23rd-

Started putting the bedrooms; including ours back together again on Thursday.  Going through everything and making a pile for the thrift shop and garbage.  Weeding out feels so good.  We ALL should do it more often.  I thought I was pretty good at keeping thin but after this round, I  needed to do even more.

Dining room looks normal but missing my table.  Dennis refinishing the top and the leaf so it's down in his shop for an upgrade.  Our landline is finally up and we have our WIFI back. 

Brought in our TV stand and TV and a bookcase and the hutch.  It all looks so good.

Living room is still work in progress.   The pile in my front room is getting smaller.😅

Denny got me a Robot floor cleaner and we have named her Gina.   She does a pretty good job believe it or not.
New trim and carpet on stairs


My table is waiting to get a new finish on it's top


What a mess

Monday-April 10th-

A week ago today, our hardwood arrived.  Josh got here this morning and has started to lay it out.

Soooooooooooooooo  excited!!!! 



I had originally picked an antique white for my ceiling medallion.  It looked like a cement color so went with something closer to our ceiling color.  Looks so much better.  Denny will install after floors are done.


This is dark walnut.  May be too dark.  Looking at a medium.



Almost all laid out.
